Love Island's Zara McDermott does the splits after losing three stone on health kick

Love Island star Zara McDermott has shown off the results of her three stone weight loss with an eye-watering pic of her doing the splits.

The 24-year-old fitness buff shared on Instagram today and captioned it: "Almost to the floor. Next week I’ll be down."

On her fitness page, called A Day With Zara, the beauty revealed she had been working with a personal trainer, declaring: “MOBILITY IS KEY! @ryan.libbey and I have been working loads on my mobility.

“I’ve noticed such a huge difference in my form, range of motion and the quality of my movement .

“If you have signed up to my 8 week plan, which launches on 17th May (yay!!!!!!!) Ryan & I will be talking l about mobility a LOT and mobility movements will be integrated into every single session you do.”

Zara has been crunching the calories with Ryan Libbey, who is almost family as he's engaged to her boyfriend Sam 's sister Louise Thompson.

At 5ft 6ins, the reality TV star has dropped a staggering four dress sizes down from a size 10 to a size 6 in just two years.

However despite her hard work, Zara has previously revealed she was callously “ skinny shamed ” online by body-shaming trolls.

Discussing the differences she has made to her diet, she said: “It started as a way of adapting to getting older when I suddenly realised I couldn’t eat whatever I wanted anymore.

“I had a lot of people being like ‘you didn’t need to lose weight, you were fine before’, but that is frustrating.

“The ‘before’ me is me not at my best – no exercise and eating anything I wanted.

“Now when I run, I’m not out of breath. Alongside the physical change in the mirror, it’s knowing you are fit and healthy on the inside that is really comforting.”

Zara, who was in the 2018 series of Love Island before being unceremoniously dumped on Day 25, made headlines last year when she cheated on her boyfriend.

She was unfaithful to Made In Chelsea star Sam Thompson within the first months of their relationship.

While she decided to keep her infidelity under wraps for over a year, her secret blew up on his E4 reality show last year, and Sam dumped her after discovering the lie.

After a number of months apart, the lovebirds realised that they couldn’t be without one another, and former Celebs Go Dating star Sam decided to give Zara a second chance.
